Epping and districts are extremely fortunate to have many volunteers who give their time and skills to local groups, charities, clubs and other organisations. The Community 2121 Awards was established by Community Bank Epping to recognise their dedication and work.

These annual Awards are presented to deserving residents who have demonstrated outstanding commitment and selfless dedication for the benefit of our community.

The Awards are recognition for those quiet achievers – volunteers who help make Epping a better place to live.

How does it work

There are two categories in the Awards:

• General Award – open to all local residents
• Youth Award – for those under 25 years of age on 1 January of the year following

Local residents and organisations are invited to nominate people each year. These nominations are assessed by the Board of Directors, and awards are presented at an annual dinner (held in conjunction with Epping Rotary) each Spring.

Nominations for this year’s awards have now closed. Recipients will be announced in October 2026.
